Step I:   Assessing Hormone Levels – Blood level, salivary or urinary levels

• One sample or multiple samples to map our cycle’s fluctuation
• Assessing current hormone synthesis

Step II:  Assessing Current Metabolic State

• Ability of the body to process hormones (thyroid and adrenal fx)
• Ability of the eliminative organs (liver, kidneys, GI tract, skin, etc..) to eliminate hormone metabolites

Step III: Identify Obstacles to Hormone Metabolism

• Delivery system (circulation, competition, sex hormone binding globulins, etc)
• Assessing tissue sensitivity and receptivity
• Gut dysbiosis (liver and gastrointestinal health)

Step IV:  Choosing the Appropriate Therapies

• nutritional, homeopathic, herbal, or hormonal therapy

Step V:    Choosing the Route of Application of the Therapies – oral, topical, transdermal, rectal/vaginal etc…

Step VI:   Discussing Additional Bodily Support while under Treatment (liver detox, thyroid/adrenal support)

Step VII:  Discuss Follow-Ups to Monitor Progress, Discuss Follow-Up Laboratory Re-evaluation
